Artist Roland Haas creates wooden works of art that inspire wonder, dreaming, philosophizing and fantasizing. Various towns provide insights into shepherd life and Alpine history. For us, the tree with its roots pointing upwards has already sparked discussions.

Recommendation hike from Golm via LatSchätzalpe to Lindauer Hut! Very good food and a very nice outdoor terrace with a fantastic mountain backdrop!

Hiking

On the popular Gauertaler AlpkulTour hiking trail, eleven wooden sculptures lead through the Montafon cultural landscape. Here is station 4: Shepherd's life "The Guardian" - he spreads his strong roots protectively like arms over the Alpstofel.

Easily confused with station 2: Alp Myhten "The Myhten Tree" - the roots of the spruce tree rise up into the sky like a plate - and connect this world with the "other world". Traditional carvings emphasize the mysterious.
